Reunion Schedule

11:00 AM – Attendees will arrive at Oak Grove Lutheran Church (address and map above) and meet at the pavilion across from the church, where everyone will register. Each person will receive a name tag and genealogical handout so they can trace their lineage from Andreas Hagenbuch (b. 1715) and make connections to other family members. Attendees will be encouraged to write on their name tags which of Andreas’ children they are descended from.

11:30 AM – A walk-through of the church sanctuary will begin. Oak Grove is one of several churches where our family comprised some of the earliest members of the congregation. The church was founded in 1869, and one of its earliest members was Andreas Hagenbuch’s great grandson, William (b. 1807), who originally attended at Hidlay Lutheran Church with his father, Henry (b. 1772). William’s descendants remain part of the congregation today. Andrew Hagenbuch will briefly trace our family’s movements from Europe, to Berks County, to Columbia County, and finally to Montour County—where Oak Grove is located.

12:00 PM – A tour of the cemetery will be conducted by Andrew Hagenbuch. Oak Grove’s cemetery contains over 30 members of the Hagenbuch family. These include: William (b. 1807) and Rebecca (Muffley) Hagenbuch (b. 1805), Hiram Sr. (b. 1847) and Mary Ann (Lindner) Hagenbuch (b. 1853), Matilda “Tillie” (Hagenbuch) Reichard (b. 1849), Joseph Hagenbuch (b. 1852) with first wife Sarah Elizabeth (Robbins) Hagenbuch (b. 1853) and second wife Mary Emma (Robbins) Hagenbuch (b. 1860), Henry Bruce Hagenbuch (b. 1875), Francis Eugene Hagenbuch (b. 1877), Julia Rebecca Hagenbuch (b. 1884), Hiram Jr. (b. 1886) and Bessie E. (Lake) Hagenbuch (b. 1889), Clarence Charles (b. 1889) and Hannah Margaret (Sechler) Hagenbuch (b. 1889), and many more. Even if you are not a descendant of these Hagenbuchs, you will enjoy hearing their stories!

1:00 PM – A potluck lunch will be served in the pavilion. Please bring your own table service (plates, utensils, and cups), as well as foods to share. This will be typical family reunion fare. Ham and rolls will be provided. Local folks can prepare their favorite picnic foods, salads, or casseroles. Travelers may stop at the deli or bring a bucket of chicken, chips, or bakery sweets. Plan to bring a thermos of iced tea, lemonade, or something else to drink. Near the end of lunch, six quarts of homemade Grape-nut ice cream will be prepared. Volunteers will be needed to hand crank the ice cream and, of course, to eat it!

2:00 PM – After our bellies are filled, there will be a few games and some announcements. A table of genealogical artifacts will be arranged for viewing. Attendees are encouraged to bring family photographs and other items to share with the group. Andrew Hagenbuch will be on hand to discuss family lines, stories, and history. We hope that everyone will spend some time relaxing, walking the cemetery, and reconnecting with their Hagenbuch cousins.

4:00 PM – The reunion will conclude. We welcome any and all help cleaning up and returning the space to its original condition.
